"Until she writes another book of poetry, this collection, “Mercury,” for me is the apotheosis of Reines’s output and voice. You can read it like it’s a novel, turning pages until you get to the end, building a sense in your mind of the funny, gorgeous, odd, dirty, gnostic visions of one female gaze."

4.5/5 stars! There's nothing more satisfying than a really well written short story, and you'll find lots of these in this collection, which actually has two that are more novella length. Take a look at my #bookreview of this on my blog now. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2020/02/14/ironic-wit-of-william/

Rolling Stone's 459th greatest album of all time
Superb collection of well-known Motown/soul classics. Some are not the best/most famous versions but all are great songs. It's always surprising how many massive hits an act like this can have (similar to Frankie Valli), assuming they are all Drifters originals (I haven't checked).

The Inimitable Jeeves (Jeeves, #2)

More a collection of short stories that are loosely tied together rather than a novel in it's own right, with most of those stories involving Bertie Wooster's friend Bongo Little - he who falls in love with every other female - in some form or other, and also occasionally including Wooster's cousins Claude and Eustace.

This collection includes Aunt Agatha's attempts to hitch Bertie in France to who-proves-to-be a conman, the cats in the bedroom incident with Sir Roderick Glossop (that continually crops up in other books), Bingo Little's Village Fair play, and (one of) Wooster's sojourn in America that involves stage shows.

As always, it is up to Jeeves to save the day in each and every incidence ...
